Human capital is considered to be one of the most important assets of the companies in a global business world. Managers equipped with modern management thoughts believe that employees will be happy and productive only if their needs and expectations are satisfied and they are motivated and happy in their work life. For this reason, it is important for the companies to have satisfied employees from their job. Therefore, companies should try to increase their employees’ job satisfaction level by implementing various managerial activities. In this study, the relationship between two aspects of job satisfaction (satisfaction with the work itself, satisfaction with pay) and demographic characteristics was investigated. The data for this study was collected through survey conducted on a textile company operating in the city of Kahramanmaraş. The results indicate that there is statistically significant relationship between job satisfaction level and education level, and between wage satisfaction and two demographic characteristics, which are age and education level.
